Ariel
(v8, Takezaki contributed to vol.2, based on novel+anime)
AD Police 25:00
(v1F, Y880, in English/Japanese, based on OAV)
Various stories inspired by the AD Police anime; there's some serious
stories, and some extremely flippant ones. Unravelling brains, hentai
boomers, it's all there. It reads left to right, and the wild translation
is a laugh. There's also a "comic" which takes the piss out of Bubblegum
Crisis and other anime.
AD Police Ultimate City
AD Police Shuen Toshi ^[$@#A#D!P#O#L#I#C#E=*_aET;T^[(B
(1990, v1F, Y880)
Dr. Kishiwada's Scientific Affection
Kishiwada-hakase no Kagakuteki Aijou ^[$@4_OBEDGn;N$N2J3XE*^[(J^[$@0&>p^[(J
(1992, v1 wide/Y560, Afternoon)
The title is a pun on the Japanese title of the "Dr. Strangelove" movie.
The hero is Dr. Kishiwada, a brilliant but demented scientist, who
who creates bizarre mechs, battles the forces of evil, or just stuffs
around. There are dozens of parodies of B-grade SF movies, shlocky TV
and crappy movies, but essentially it's quite original. Crazy, slick and
very funny.
---- Tanaka Masasi ^[$@EDCf@/;V^[(J^[$@^[(J
----
Things present in most manga (eg. dialogue, screen tone) are usually
absent in Tanaka Masashi's manga. Instead, the emphasis is on extremely
detailed, atmospheric art. There's always lots of action and dark humor. [IS]
Flash ^[$@%U%i%C%7^[(B
(1986-1990, v1/Y700, v2-3F/Y750, Morning)
Flash is a bandit from the wild west, seemingly impervious to harm. In the
last two volumes, the art is particularly good, and there's almost no
dialogue.
Adventure [something]!!
(v1F)
Unidentified Prince Object
U.P.O ^[$@L$3NG'%W%j%s%9J*BN^[(B
(1990, v1F, Morning)
A prince singlemindedly pursues his princess, ploughing through Nazis,
demons and medieval battlefields in the process.
Samurai's Great Adventure
Samurai Daiboken ^[$B;xBgKA81^[(B
(1991, v1F, Afternoon)
Cool story. Sex, blood, and procreation. [DM]
Gon ^[$@%4%s^[(B
(1992, v1 wide/Y530, Morning)
A baby dinosaur causes havoc throughout the animal kingdom. (This is a
spinoff from Flash, with no dialogue).
---- Terasawa Buichi

Black Knight
Cobra
(v10, Y600, SJ, anime+English)
Gokuu Midnight Eye
(anime+English)
The two OAV's I've seen are pretty good, but the manga translations
from VIZ are rather dull. Gokuu is based on the monkey king stories.
He's a private detective, with a cyborg eye tied into the world's
computer networks, and an expanding explosive staff. [CH]
---- Tezuka Osamu ^[$@<jDM<#Cn^[(J
---- (?-1990)
----
Regarded as "the father of manga", having developed many of the styles
and formats that characterise manga today. It's difficult to list even the
significant Tezuka works here, which were often released by different
publishers. [YK] Most editions of Tezuka's manga contain a substantial
English synopsis.

He is in conflict with the conservative medical establishment, for

BTW, Tezuka Osamu is a qualified doctor.

a detective company - with him as the president. His office has five people,
including a former police detective in his 50s; Miwa (airheaded but strong);
and another very rich woman, who loves Andou (like Miwa). Mostly, they
are short stories, with the only continuity being the women fighting
over Andou. [HH]

Report of Playful Ghost
Yuu-Yuu Hakusho ^[$@M)!yM7!yGr=q^[(B
(v8, SJ)
Occult action comedy. The Worst Kind of bad boy, Urameshi Yuusuke, died when
he accidentally saved a child. But his death was so unpredictable that even
the Judge of the Deads can't decide whether he must go heaven or hell. He
had to carry out a quest to decide his destiny. Or to return to life again.
---- Toriyama Akira ^[$@D;;3^[(J ^[$@L@^[(B
----
His manga, aimed at children, are extremely popular. He did graphic
design work for the Dragon Quest video game, which was later animated.
A Dragon Quest manga based on the game appeared, with art by Inada Kouji
and story by Sanjou Riku; this was also made into an anime. Toriyama
has nothing to do with the DragonQuest manga. He also worked on two
anime in 1990 (incl. Pink).
Dr. Slump ^[$@%I%/%?!<%9%i%s%W^[(J ^[$@%"%i%l$A$c$s^[(B
(1980, v18, SJ, TV series)
A series of strange stories (sometimes building on each other) about
a silly mad inventor, and his young-girl robot, Arare. Lots of puns,
toilet humor, and sex jokes. [CH] It was fairly popular in Japan, and
brought him into prominence. The decision to animate Dr. Slump was taken
5 weeks after the manga started, setting a new record.
Sakugeki Jou
(1983, v2, Y370)
A work that came out after Dr. Slump had started, but before Dragon
Ball. Shows exactly the same kind of twisted bathroom humor as Dr.
Slump, but with some of the combat sequences that appeared later in
Dragon Ball. Has many of the same character designs, but with a
slightly different story line.
Dragon Ball
(1985-, v32, Y390, SJ, Spanish+TV series+"Dragonball Z" TV series+movies)
An RPG arcade game-style series with Son Goku searching out the location
of the seven powerful Dragon Balls. When they are brought together, the
balls will grant the possessor one wish. Lots of toilet and sexual humor.
Very silly, but lots of fun. This series also metamorphed into Dragon Ball Z,
which has the same manga name as the original. Most of the character
designs are based on those in Dr. Slump. [CH]

Most of Naoki's characters are reused in each new series. But, she
has a truly great mastery of comic expression, and serious tension
building. [CH]
Pineapple Army
(v10)
An ex-military man trains others to defend themselves, on the condition
that he never gets involved himself. But he always does, anyway.
The stories always have a nice twist to the plot, are well-written,
and have great artwork. [CH]
Yawara!

Judo romance comedy. A Judo champion girl who wants to have fun just like

He's a lecturer at a university, and is an archaeologist... but then again,
he works as an operative/detective for Lloyds of London. He used to be in
the SAS and is a veteran of the Falklands War, and was one of the members
of the Iran Embassy incident... it's Indy J. + Pineapple Army + some other
things divided by 3. If you liked Pineapple Army, you'd like it. [KM]

in love with a human girl.

Amaririsu is a super thief, whose real name is Shizaki Nana (a high
school student). Nana wears a wig in her non-thief identity. She
can disguise herself, is extremely athletic, highly skilled, and
a determination to always end up on top. The stories are about her
life and adventures. Her mother is Shizaki Yukino, a retired thief
who went by the title Kaito Narushisu. Another character named
Sugar is an inventor/technician/helper who makes sure Nana has the
equipment she needs to succeed. In vol.3, there is a change in direction
of the story (which is spoofed by the artist/author in the title frames),
in which Nana gets a job as an idol singer with the title Flower
Dream Nana (she has a trick wand too).

Before appearing on Shounen Sunday with Kyuukyoku Choujin R, he was
known as an anime-parody manga artist. [YK] He is a well-known Tomino
otaku and most parodies he did were on Gundam and other Tomino works. [TK]
Assemble Insert
(2 OAVs)
A truly inspired parody of the super-powered crime fighter. Most of
the character designs are caracatures, with a noticible absence of
noses. Also has many in-jokes, and constant references to itself as
anime. The hero is a 14 (or so) year-old girl with super strength, who
has been enlisted by the police force to fight crime, and help boost
their TV ratings. Unfortunately, she can't sing or dance. [CH]
The Ultimate Superman R
Kyuukyoku Choujin R ^[$@5f6KD6?M$"!A$k^[(B
(v9F, Y680, SS, OAV)
New student "R Tanaka Ichirou" is an android who always wears
wooden slippers. [PY] The first major work of Yuuki Masami. Due to
high content of in-jokes, this manga might be hard to understand for
fans but for those who has grown up with manga, anime and live-action
stuff, this is a manga that you wouldn't wanna miss. [TK]
Mobile Police Patlabor
Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor ^[$@5!F07Y;!%Q%H%l%$%P!<^[(B
(v15, Y390, SS)
With the rapidly accelerating development of hyper-technology,
a humanoid-type machine called "LABOR" is being used in every field of
industry. However, it has created the new social menace of "LABOR" crime.
In order to curb such crimes from happening one after another, the
Metropolitan Police Department has established a special department, the
"Special Vehicle Section No.2". It consists of a company of patrol
"LABOR" known as PATLABOR.
Compared to the anime, the manga version focuses more on character
development and jokes are more subtle. Manga also deals with many social,
political and enviromental issues in depth. [TK]
